The employee was putting it out as I was walking by.

It's a sealed gift set of 4 PS2 games regular price $ 29.88. It's on clearance for $ 9.88.

Don't expect top of the line new games but I thought it may be good for trade ins , cheap gifts for kids or ebay who have the time :)

Bowling, Bassfishing, NHL hockey, Poker ? Might have other games but I didnt check further since I have a Xbox and there was no special for those.

WOW... so they're FINALLY clearing out on this? :-0

i remember they had these sometime around Nov./Dec...

and literally no1 bought these b/c i kept on seeing about the same # boxes on display everytime i walk by the electronics dept... lol



btw, they also had the 6 PS2 game boxset for $40. it had all of the above games + Bad Boys and another crappy game. ... wonder if that's on clearance too.

thx4da response.

that's still $2.50/game tho.... (b4 taxes) same as the 4/$10 boxset.

so i guess it doesn't matter which one u p/u unless there's a specific game u don't want...

I was tempted to pic one of the six packs up but the only games I'd care to keep are Tokyo Xtreme Racing 3 and MAYBE NHL2005 (Naslund!!).

*Just remembered BBV would be great for trading some of these in! Gotta head to RCSS after work!

ahhh... TXR3... THAT's the game!....

oh yeah, i was just thinking of trading these in at BBV?

or EB for the trade 10 promo? well, they prbly don't give anything $3+ for any of these games... which means it wouldn't qualify.



btw, u'd buy NHL'05 just b/c on the cover there's Naslund of the Canucks? :confused:

Doesn't Blockbuster have a min $8 trade in rule? We could potentially make $6.50 Per game!

$8 min. is over... (what i was told, after i phoned a few stores - last wk btw)

think it ended around end of June ... for obvious reasons since EB's trade-in promo was supposed to end June 30th, but got extended to end of July....


u'd be laughing if any of these go for $5+.

well, it's over for the few locations i've called.


check ur local BBVs... if they still have signs up, i guess u could ask that they honour the promo b/c they still advertise it.


but i doubt any are still participating (also note that not ALL BBV locations were participating in the $8 min. trade-in promo in the 1st place)

Any similar promotions? It would really come in handy, although not as hot as the $1 MLB a few months ago, for making profit reselling XBOXes on ebay ;)

not that i'm aware of....


they have B1G1 50% off (other thread) but u wouldn't think the trade-in credit for those games would exceed the price u paid for'em, right? ;)

I found these looking for the $50 venturer DVD player. (they had 3 at the Baseline/Woodroffe).

Most of the RCSS are sold out of these, but I found a couple and ran right over to BBV to trade them.
